Seeing the new "anthracite" R90s made me wonder if anyone has gone with DS s-lites on a DS S. My guess is that it either looks kind of cool or gawd awful.

Nobody? Hmm... this could be the distinctive styling element that I've been looking for. :smile:

I've been seriously considering getting my S-lites painted DS to match the body color. I've always liked the AMG monochrome look, though my black top would keep it from looking too monochrome. I, too, would love to see pics if anybody's done that (or any other body-color S-lites).

I can't supply pictures, but last year my dealer had a LY MCS with the aero kit.
The roof , mirrors, S-Lites and aero kit were all body color LY. The appearance was outstanding, not to mention very expensive.

Love those red brake calipers! Sharp. Now if I could only find a set of used MCS 17" S-lites that are reasonable.....

Someone had a set of DS S lites in either S. America or S. Africa. The pics were posted either here or MINI2.

They looked pretty good as they looked more like the finish of the Chrome Shadow on the M5 rims. Now that I think of it, it was on MINI2.
